From the frozen depths of Belgian doom: Absentia blends atmospheric black metal and suffocating doom with guest vocals by Tim Yatras, while Kilte tears through a frozen landscape of grief with tormented screams and relentless energy. Behind My Semblance is a harrowing reckoning of despair and rebirth, and the self-titled Splendidula lays the strong fundament — traditional doom and alternative rock fused with sludge grooves and psychedelic drones. Rogue Lash crashes the party with post-genre collages of funk, industrial, and drone, while Feral Moon conjures dark forest doom synth across a richly imagined world of exiled priestesses and dictatorial cults.
